Barbecued Ham Recipes

PITTSBURGH HAM BARBECUES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir the onions in the butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir the ketchup, vinegar, water, brown sugar, mustard, and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet with the onions; simmer about 10 minutes. Stir in the ham; cook until heated through and the sauce is bubbling, 5 to 7 minutes more.
• While the ham simmers, heat the kaiser rolls in the preheated oven until toasted, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Assemble the sandwiches by dividing the ham mixture among the toasted kaiser rolls, topping the ham with pickle relish. Serve hot.

WHOLE HAM ON THE BARBECUE

Steps:

• Preheat gas grill on high for about 10 minutes.
• Sit ham on long sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil.
• Press brown sugar onto ham and wrap tight with foil.
• Wrap tightly with another sheet of foil.
• Lower grill temperature to low on both sides.
• Place ham on top warmer rack (or on lower rack, but place in foil pan so the bottom does not get too dried out).
• Shut grill lid and allow to cook for about 1 1/2 hours (no need to do anything else to it).
• Remove foil from ham over a pan so you don't lose the brown sugar juices.

GRILLED GLAZED HAM

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat. For gas grills (with 3 or more burners), turn all the burners to medium-high heat; after about 15 minutes turn off one of the middle burners and turn the remaining burners down to medium. For charcoal grills, bank one chimney starter-full of lit and ashed-over charcoal briquettes to one side of the grill. Set up a drip pan on the other side to avoid flare-ups. (Be sure to consult the grill manufacturer's guide for best results.)
• Cut three 12-inch pieces of heavy-duty foil. Working one piece at a time, fold in half lengthwise. Fold in half again and fold in half one more time; you should have a long strip of foil about 1 1/2 inches wide. Twist the two ends of the strip in opposite directions making a twisted rope of foil. Repeat with the remaining two pieces of foil. Set all three ropes in the center of a small disposable aluminum roaster about 1 inch apart and place the ham on top. (The ropes will prevent the bottom of the ham from burning.) Cover tightly with foil and place over indirect heat (if your grill has a thermometer, it should be at around 325 degrees F). Cover the grill and cook until just warmed through, 35 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, boil the pineapple juice, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until the glaze is very thick and has the consistency of honey, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the vinegar and remove from the heat.
• Carefully remove the foil cover from the ham and discard; baste with the glaze, making sure to get in between each slice. Increase the heat to medium-high and move the ham over direct heat. Cover the grill and cook until the glaze begins to bubble, about 5 minutes. Baste again with the remaining glaze, then cover and cook until the glaze bubbles, 5 minutes more. Continue basting and cooking until the ham is shiny and the glaze begins to brown, about 10 more minutes. Remove from the grill and let sit 10 minutes, uncovered, before serving.
• Meanwhile, grill the pineapple rings over direct heat until charred on one side, 4 to 5 minutes. Let cool. Arrange the pineapple rings on the uncut portion of the ham, grill marks facing up, and use toothpicks to secure them in place. Place a cherry in the center of each ring and secure with a toothpick.
• Serve the ham with any accumulated juices, remaining pineapple rings and cherries on the side.

HAM WITH BARBECUE BEANS

Steps:

• Combine the beans, 3 cups water, the onion, ketchup, maple syrup, brown sugar, mustard, molasses, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a 6-quart slow cooker. Set the ham on top, then cover and cook on high, 8 hours.
• Transfer the ham to a platter and skim off the excess fat from the beans. Slice the ham and serve with the beans.

GRILLED HAM

Steps:

• Preheat grill to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix brown sugar and mustard together in a bowl until a paste forms.
• Place ham on a large piece of aluminum foil. Spread brown sugar paste over entire ham. Wrap foil securely around ham, sealing all of the edges together. Place wrapped ham in a disposable pan.
• Grill ham on the preheated grill until heated through, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove ham from grill and let rest 30 minutes before slicing.

BARBECUED HAM 'N' PEACHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, oil and pepper; brush some of the mixture over ham slices. Place each slice on a greased 12-in. square of heavy-duty foil. Top with peaches; drizzle with remaining ketchup mixture. , Fold foil over ham and peaches and seal tightly. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 5-6 minutes in each side or until heated through.
